AWSL Fall Leadership Days

Fall Leadership Days

AWSL’s Middle-Level Fall Leadership Days are back this fall! These regional day-long workshops equip students with skills and ideas to understand themselves, their futures, and to lead in their schools. Students can contribute to planning for their future, creating a culture, ensuring school safety, engaging the school community by working with school staff and each other.

Fall Leadership Days are rooted in the principles of “Who am I?” “Who are we?” “Where do we want to go?” How do we get there?”

Workshop topics include Improving school climate, leader responsibility, team building, project planning, school engagement strategies, and an interactive idea exchange!

Fall Leadership Days provide advisers up 45-minutes during the workshop to plan, work, and coordinate with their school teams.
